How on earth do you choose?
Just back from seeing Prof and am still reeling at the latest. He is very keen for me to move onto yet another drug – Daratumumab – to see if this can bring my PP down to zero, and remission. So – asked the obvious question about how long I would need to be on…

Rug Pulled From Under Feet
Fuck. I didn't see this one coming. I've spent the past five months dutifully having chemo. Turning up on time, week in week out. Biting the bullet with endless cannula insertions. Smiling gratefully at the pharmacy staff as they hand over piles of tablets I don’t want to take, but do. Being covered in bruises.…

Catch up with the Added Value Directors
A long overdue evening out last night with the AV Directors – really good to catch up with everyone, see what's going on in the business (mucho change, whole load of Kantarness occurring). And to have a few really rather nice cocktails in this new restaurant on Maple Road Surbiton – think it's just called…

Tennessee & Miami photos
Here it comes in pictorial format – the bizarrely entertaining and off-the-grid 4 days in Tennessee (yes, maaaaaaaaam!) followed by 4 slightly more stylish and trendy (well, the place, not us necessarily) days in good old Miami. Proof that we did actually venture into and up the Great Smoky Mountains – clock that white…

Phoneless
So who's the massive eejit who managed to rush to Parkside yesterday for chemo, in a flap as meant to be queueing in Wim Park for tennis tickets, and was then a mega stressed total berk when she dropped her iPhone down the toilet in her haste? Yep, that'll be me then. Please email me…

The Post Hols Blues
Ah, we had a ball. The 4 days in Miami were their usual marvellous mix of shopping, pottering, sweltering in 90+ degree heat, savouring the air conditioning of our three floor loft with roof terrace, (s)wanking about in our silver Mustang, paddling in the hotel pool, knocking back cocktails, trying our both new and old…

Day 4 in Tennessee
Yep, that in itself is a bizarre thought. Still savouring the joy of that first Bucks Fizz on the Virgin flight, taking off and knowing America was just around the corner. Landing in an incredibly polite Atlanta with the fastest immigration system ever (look and learn Miami!) – more 'welcome to Atlanta, ma'am' than you…

11 hours to take off
Well, it's looking more likely than ever now. It's 10.45pm, I'm just back from 'date night' with a rather tired hubby and the alarm is set for 5.15am. Not that I'll probably get much kip – I am both over-excited and the brightest red ever today, a delectable combination of my last set of rouge-inducing…
